Step-by-step guide for Watching 3D Movies on Samsung Gear VR on a S7 Edge 

Step 1: Import 3D video. 

Insert your 3D/2D Blu-ray/DVD movie to disc drive, and click “Load from disc” button to load Blu-ray or DVD from ROM. For video file, click the “Add video” button, browse to computer hard drive and import video into this app. 

 

Step 2: Select format and set profile. 

Tap on “Format” bar and find “3D Video”, there are a lot of format options for you. “MP4 Side-by-Side 3D Video (*.mp4)” is recommended for Samsung Gear VR. 

 

For Mac users who wants to convert 3D content to 3D SBS MP4/MKV for Gear VR, the equivalent Mac 3D Converter should be used. 

Tip: If necessary, you are allowed to adjust video and audio presets in Settings. Parameters like video codec, video bitrate, video frame rate, audio sample rate, audio channel, and more can be adjusted to achieve a better video/audio playback on Samsung Gear VR. An important issue that you must consider that in Samsung Gear VR, resolution for each eye is not Full HD but half the QHD screen. That is means a spilt VR resolution of 1280 x 1440 for each eye on Samsung Gear VR. It has a 60Hz refresh rate and a 96 degree field of view. 

We recommend using 1280×720 HD resolution to encode your videos. Higher resolutions will not provide any better quality, meaning you’ll waste space and processing power. 

We also recommend using a higher bit rate than a typical web stream at that resolution, as the pixels in your video will be magnified on the phone’s screen. The optimal bit rate is content dependent, and many videos can get by with less, but 5 Mb/s should give good quality. 

While H.264 is the recommended video coding, H.265 videos can also be played. 

3D movies should be encoded “full side-by-side” with a 1:1 pixel aspect ratio. Content mastered at 1920×1080 compressed side -by- side 3D should be resampled to 1920×540 resolution full side -by -side resolution. 

Step 3: Convert 3D Content to SBS 3D MP4. 

Click “Convert” button, video to SBS 3D MP4 conversion begins. When the process finishes, open the output folder to locate. 

Step-by-step guide for watching 3D movies on Gear VR - From www.vrheadsets3d.com 

Step 1. Make sure you have the correct smartphone. Yes, it’s a silly instruction, but people have been known to make mistakes once in a while, so it doesn’t hurt to check. The Gear VR only works on the following Samsung Galaxy smartphones: Galaxy Note 5, Galaxy S6/S6 Edge/S6 Edge+, and Galaxy S7/S7 Edge. 

Step 2. Get a copy of the 3D movies you want to watch and make sure they are in the correct format (.mp4 .m4v .3gp .3g2 .ts .webm .mkv .wmv .asf .avi .flv). Also, check if the audio are in .mp3 or .aac formats. If you have the movies in a different format, you can download a converter like Freemake Video Converter and VidCoder

Step 3. Place the movies in the correct folder in your phone. To do this, simply navigate to the default folder created by Oculus/Gear VR, but don’t paste them there just yet. Create a new folder within that folder and name it “3D” (/oculus/movies/3d/). That’s where you need to place your 3D movies since the root folder is reserved for your regular 2D movies. 

* 2D or normal movies you copy/paste into the /oculus/movies/ 
* for 360 movies you create folder called “360videos” (/oculus/movies/360videos/ ) and copy your 360 videos 

Step 4. Search around the internet for your movies’ posters and copy them on Paint, or any other image editing program you prefer. Do them one at a time, of course. Resize the images to 232 x 344 pixels and save them in the 3D movies folder as .png, making sure that the file names are EXACTLY the same as the respective movies. This will display the movies’ posters when browsing on Gear VR, instead of some random image. It’s entirely optional, though. But it makes things look neat. 

Step 5. Grab some popcorn and start watching your movies.

In non-Gear VR mode, the stock video player can play such files with video only but the BS Player app can play such files just fine with both video and audio.

Convert MKV to 3D MP4 for Playing on HTC Vive

Summary:HTC Vive offers a flat-out amazing virtual reality experience with sharp visuals, great motion controls and full-room sensing to walk around in virtual space. 

HTC Vive hardware can help indicate where your walls are, and an in-helmet camera can be used to see your space with the headset on. A design decision that instantly makes it feel more immersive. It creates a Star Trek holodeck-like space in your room to virtually walk around in. The headset itself packs in a pair of OLED displays with 2,160 x 1,200 pixels of total resolution. 

If you are going for a mobile based VR headset I would suggest HTC Vive. It’s cheaper,but its optics are definitely better. However, if you have other videos like MKV, is it possible to put them into Android/iPhone handsets to watch MKV files on HTC Vive? 

Actually, on HTC Vive related forums many users have need to backup MKV Movies to computer and then watch 3D Movies with HTC Vive through your devices. So, you can’t deny that there is a possibility that your MKV movies are not supported by HTC Vive. And in view of the course of 3D effect, what you need is to take advantage of a third-party program to help you convert MKV to 3D SBS MOV/MP4 videos, so that you can smoothly play them on HTC Vive through your iPhone/Android handsets. 
Editor Notes: “ In fact, I've used Handbrake to convert the MKV files I have that do not work. It will repackage them in MKVs using different codecs for HTC Vive playback. Handbrake supports encoding of several audio tracks, and the audio quality is also quite favorable. But sometimes the output audio maybe a little bit low and it is uncomfortable when you on trip or in crowding space without sound amplifier built in. Worse still, it only supports converting MKV to MP4 or M4V, not into 3D format. In this case, a Handbrake alternative for Windows users is needed. “ 


Here Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate is the best one I've found ever, this app not only can convert MKV to 3D MP4/MOV for HTC Vive, but also enables you to adjust video resolution to 720p which is best for watching in HTC Vive. Meanwhile, the video converter also allows you to convert MKV to a decent 2D format for playback on Apple TV 4, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Android, iPhone, etc. as you want.
